Autonomous Tractors Market Expected to Reach $11.6 Billion by 2030

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Autonomous Tractors Market by Component, and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030,”

The global autonomous tractors market size was valued at $1.6 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $11.6 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 20.9% from 2021 to 2030.

By component, the market is segmented into sensor, GPS, vision system, and others. Among these, the GPS segment accounted for the highest market share in 2020 and the other components segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to increase in demand for autonomous tractors owing to need for improving efficiency in farming activities. The market is analyzed with respect to different applications in tillage, harvesting, irrigation, seed sowing, spraying, and fertilizing.

The market is mainly driven by increasing awareness among farmers regarding the importance of enhancing yield of the farm and increased investments in the agriculture industry globally. However, requirement of high initial investment is a major restraint in the growth of the market.

In 2020, North America dominated the global market, in terms of revenue. Moreover, the market in LAMEA region is growing with high CAGR, owing to increase in agricultural activities.

The rise in global population has significantly increased the demand for food products, thereby creating a need for enhancing the efficiency of farming activities. Furthermore, increase in number of government initiatives to boost the agricultural industry has fueled investments in the agriculture industry, thereby positively influencing the autonomous tractors market growth. In addition, rise in urbanization has reduced manpower in rural regions for agricultural activities, thereby highlighting the importance of autonomous machineries that make optimum use of available labor.

Furthermore, on the basis of application, the tillage segment is anticipated to witness rapid growth during the forecast period, owing to increase in government initiatives for implementation of new technologies in agriculture.

For instance, according to India Brand Equity Foundation, in September 2021, the Union Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, initiated the Digital Agriculture Mission 2021–2025. The ministry signed five memorandums of understandings (MoUs) with companies such as CISCO, Ninjacart, Jio Platforms Limited, ITC Limited and NCDEX e-Markets Limited (NeML), to boost digital agriculture with the help of pilot projects. The Digital Agriculture Mission aims to accelerate projects that are based on new and advanced technologies such as AI, block chain, remote sensing and GIS technology as well as use of drones and robots.

During the pandemic lockdown, various manufacturers in the autonomous tractors market had to stop their business in countries such as China, the U.S., and India. However, scarcity of labor for agricultural activities created by initial lockdowns, fueled the demand for autonomous tractors. Furthermore, reopening of production facilities and introduction of vaccines for coronavirus disease are anticipated to lead to re-opening of autonomous tractors companies.

The key players profiled in the autonomous tractors market report include AGCO Corporation, Autonomous Solutions, Inc., Autonomous Tractor Corporation, CNH Industrial, Deere & Company, KINZE Manufacturing, Kubota Corporation, Mahindra & Mahindra, Trimble, and Yanmar.
